The patches of fluorescent tides were certainly beautiful, but in fact the tourists who watched the view from the sea could not see most of the beauty. The glowing fish, jellyfish and plankton were too close to them, and the picture was not that amazing. It was thus far less shocking than the scenes taken from aerial photos. Therefore, the view of the tides was just for the sake of novelty.
Xiao Yao didn’t expect that Old Dog Bai could do this. The two of them were submerged in the sea water, separated by a thin film, and there were dots of fluorescent light all over the place. Bai Ju didn’t dive too deep into the sea water, so they could still feel the ups and downs of the waves above their heads. The moonlight penetrated the water and shone down, and the ever-changing light blue light was intoxicating.
Bai Ju hugged Xiao Yao and controlled the air bubble to move slowly with the fish school. He then looked around and exclaimed: “This scene is really wonderful. I have been to too few places before. I have only seen such a scene in the Dragon King’s Palace in a river, but it is not as good as the sea, where there are so many glowing little guys.”
The surrounding sea water was icy cold, and the temperature that seeped in through the air bubble also seemed a little cooler. Xiao Yao’s back was pressed against Bai Ju’s body, and he felt the temperature was becoming more and more comfortable. He leaned back and relaxed, letting Bai Ju lead him through the school of fish.
Old Bai Dog had never seen such a scene, but after all, he had visited several demon kings living at the bottom of the lake before; so he seemed to be quite skilled in drifting in the sea, and his air bubble moved very steadily, without making people feel dizzy.
When Xiao Yao heard Old Dog Bai’s expression, he raised his hand and touched his hair on the side of his cheek and rubbed his head reluctantly: “You were the same before. It’s not easy to be a mountain god… After all, there is a jurisdiction there, and normal activities are naturally restricted.”
Bai Ju hummed and said gently, “But I don’t have any followers now, and I don’t have to stay in the mountains anymore. I can go around with you… When your term is over and you retire, I will retire with you, eat delicious food everywhere, and see new things everywhere.”
Bai Ju stretched out his hand and gently pressed on the inner wall of the air bubble. Then many curious little fish came to his palm, opened their mouths and pecked at Bai Ju’s palm through the air bubble, which made him feel a little itchy.
Xiao Yao thought about what Bai Ju said and chuckled, “By then, I will have become an old man. You have to become an old man with me. You are not allowed to be like you are now.”
Bai Ju was amused and grabbed Xiao Yao’s hand to tease the little fish. Hearing this, he curled his lips and said, “If you become an old man, I will accompany you… But we demons have many ways to keep you young forever; if you think that’s boring, let’s grow old together.”
Xiao Yao felt the touch of the little fish pecking at his palm, and his eyes became softer.
If Bai Ju had not appeared in his life, he would probably never have felt this hope of “a promising future”; even though with his hard work, there were many spaces and possibilities in life, but none of them could fill his life.
All he wanted was to have someone by his side, just like he had now, to have a stable life and a promising future.
“Brother Bai,” Xiao Yao took back his hand and inserted his five fingers into Bai Ju’s fingers, “Thank you.”
Bai Ju held Xiao Yao’s hand and kissed his fingertips: “I want to thank you too, Yao Yao.”
It was not the first time that Xiao Yao heard Bai Ju say such a thing, so he could not help but ask: “Speaking of which…Brother Bai, if the person you met after you came down the mountain was not me, but another person, and he treated you the same way as I do…”
“Will you eventually fall in love with him?”
Xiao Yao had seen similar questions on the Internet before, these were all basically a series of love-related questions.
Such an empty hypothetical theory, no matter whether the answer was yes or no, had no impact on the present, and could not constitute any valid reference… But he was just a little worried and even wanted to ask Old Dog Bai to answer all these life-threatening questions.
Bai Ju rarely went online, so he didn’t feel that Xiao Yao was setting him up. After thinking about it, he answered calmly, “There’s no necessary cause and effect relationship between the two… I like you, and I like all of you, and the reason for our relationship is all of you. Maybe if I went a little off track, the result would be different. This assumption is too vague.”
Old Dog Bai said, sighing deeply, and turned his boyfriend in his arms over to face him: “Yao Yao, you are very insecure.”
Xiao Yao raised his head and met Bai Ju’s gaze, feeling a little embarrassed: “It’s okay… I’m just asking randomly. Love questions on the Internet are not interesting at all.”
Bai Ju smiled and rubbed Xiao Yao’s head: “Yao Yao, make a wish.”
Xiao Yao was stunned: “…”
Bai Ju’s fingers moved down from the top of his hair to his cheek, and pinched it gently: “Make a wish, a greedy one, and I will help you realize it.”
The familiar words reminded Xiao Yao of the way the white milk dog used to hold his cheek and tilt his head when speaking.
The old white dog’s eyes were still as pure and clear as before. But now besides seriousness, his dark pupils were filled with tenderness, doting, and a love that was completely different from before.
Xiao Yao didn’t know how many different reasons he had received until now for being moved, but Bai Ju’s eyes were always a weapon that could capture his heart.
Catching the fluorescence reflected in Bai Ju’s pupils, Xiao Yao came back to his senses slightly, then shook his head as if he was amused: “At the beginning… I hoped that you could accompany me for the rest of my life, no matter what kind of relationship we have.”
Bai Ju smiled and commented, “Not greedy enough.”
“If possible, I also hope to steal a kiss from you.” Xiao Yao raised his head and gently placed his hands on Bai Ju’s shoulders.
Bai Ju lowered his head and moved closer until he could hear his breath: “You’re still not greedy enough.”
Xiao Yao leaned forward, kissed Bai Ju’s lips, and said with a low laugh, “What kind of greed is that?”
Bai Ju lowered his eyes slightly, stroked Xiao Yao’s cheek with his palm, and then moved it to the back of his head and gently supported it: “As long as you want… it’s not greedy.”
“Smooth talker.” Xiao Yao only had time to say this before the rest of his voice was swallowed up by Bai Ju.
